9. Experience with Organic Germanium . Dr. Okazawa By Dr. Mieko Okazawa, Ooka Clinic of the infant Protection Association, Social Welfare Corporation.     When we see people with bodies no different from ours fall ill time and again, we cannot help uttering words like "you are so frail".  We utter "so frail" with a deep sigh, yet we are not sure on what basis we distinguish between "frailty" and "robustness." Such is the discordant mental state with which we challenge diseases. As a pediatrician, one often feels like criticizing obstetricians and gynecologists, the doctors who handle the cases prior to the pediatrician, for not doing this or that.     The body that develops, for instance, cholecystitis is more easily susceptible to  cystitis, pyelitis and chalazion of the eyelid. Such a person is subject to constitutional diseases of one type or another without any conscious action. A person with such a "body" is at a disadvantage throughout his life.     A person with a constitution subjected to repeated illnesses, a person handicapped by such a poor bod- v or a person with a so called "allergic constitution " ultimately falls victim to some obstlnate disease of unknown cause. When one comes face to face with such a person, one feels the urge to help him, but the greater the urge the more one feels the importance of keeping the body of the mother in the best possible condition prior to the birth of that person.     This is a very natural hope requiring no urging by a woman doctor like myself, and it was organic germanium and its properties that have fulfilled this hope. In the world of nature where amphoteric ions are at work, the action of germanium borders on the miraculous .     Anyone who hears of organic germanium for the first time associates it with its inorganic form, a nonmetal, thus causing needless concern. lt is not enough that it does not accumulate in the body; if coming into contact with the dreaded "cation " of heavy metal accumulated in the body, its "anions" are said to combine easily with the former and discharge will take place in the form of urine and feces. In this respect, the research work of Dr. Asai leaves no doubt as to its authenticity.     As to the strong action of organic germanium, some specialists suggest the presence of some invigorating element other than oxygen, but the fact that it does invigorate, may mean that anion oxygen indispensable to internal organs in itself is more than sufficient for human vitality.     When I personally came across organic germanium, I felt that this was what I had been looking for in my work as a physician whose aim it is to help people overcome the afflictions with which they are cursed. I still remember vividly the emotional impact this realization had on  me; successive experiences were proof that my initial impression had been right.     People who have resorted to the intake of large doses of organic germanium or who made long-range use of small amounts in order to improve the condition of their internal organs, find their formerly pasty colored skin turn to a healthy complexion. Expressions of agony on their faces disappear. In children, their faces brighten and their eyes regain their  sparkle; the faces of adults become serene, their hope for recovery returning. As to aged persons. the odor peculiar to the aged, stemming from poor metabolism, disappears.     People will tell me with wonder among other experiences the disappearance of warts, the outgrowing of corns and splinters embedded in the skin, healing of eczema's and healing of burns without scars with little of the accompanying pains resulting from those burns, or of early subsiding of herpes. While this shows the effectiveness of organic germanium in minor ailments, later descriptions will deal with its effectiveness in much more severe and obstinate diseases. If people experience only small effects, if any, this only goes to show that their condition is worse than thought, thus an increase of the prescribed dosage is required. Where the body' cells lack oxygen, so indispensable to life, a gradual decline in bodily functions is inevitable and lastly the fire of life will be extinguished.    This is my personal opinion, but it seems that forces working towards the improvement of health and forces working towards an aggravation of physical conditions are in constant struggle within our bodies, and the condition improves or worsens depending on which of the forces gains the upper hand. What is commonly applicable to all cases is that prescription of large doses of organic germanium immediately after a definite diagnosis brings wonderful results.     Nothing, no miracle drug nor mysterious recipe, prescribed in haste after the condition deteriorates will bring the expected results, if the envigorating capacity of oxygen within the body is lost.     Being cured of a severe disease should not lead the patient to overestimate his regained strength. the convalescence  period might range up to a year or more. Contraction of a disease difficult to cure means that forces that work towards an aggravation of that condition are much stronger than those working towards recovery.  To prevent worsening of the condition, or rather to prevent a return of the disease, care should be taken to continue the prescription although at a reduced dosage, while efforts should not be overlooked to maintain the normal potential within the body.     A phenomenon that occasionally bothers patients who are prescribed organic germanium could best be explained as a cure reaction (deceptive phenomenon in Chinese medical herb therapy) which causes a certain condition to become worse. This,  however, should not cause additional anxiety but rather be judged as a sign that the treatment is beginning to have an effect. In such cases it is necessary to increase the dosage for a certain period (between 7 to 14 days) in order to overcome this phenomenon. The larger the dosage, the quicker will be the breakthrough.     For instance, in the case of articular rheumatism, the hips and the knee joints become so painful about the 7th day after beginning the administration of large doses that the patient will be unable to leave his bed. The phenomenon will be the more severe, the worse the condition of the patient. However. when the dosage is increased when the phenomenon occurs, the patient will be free of acute pain within about three days, and it will not be long until he can walk again.     After passing through this period, the continued intake of a reduced dosage will lead to gradual improvement, with an occasional return of the cure reaction in a lighter from, a process which I like to call "shedding of the disease."   In the case of stomach  ulcer, hematemesis or melena may take place at some stage after beginning administration, but as this is a cure reaction, a breakthrough can be made by increasing the dosage; this also applies to cases of piles. This phenomenon of cure reaction, therefore, should be taken as a sign of efficacy.     This is the beginning of a chance for cure, and it is most inadvisable to suspend administration by mistaking the condition for a sign of aggravation. This is the most important junction, and good mutual understanding between the doctor trying to cure and the patient wanting to be cured is essential.     In conclusion, I shall cite various examples of clinical treatment I have given. Case of Cerebral Thrombosis (female, 78 years old) : She had been suffering from headaches and a sensation that her shoulders and neck were in a vice, a condition in cerebral thrombosis. A month after prescription of organic germanium both the oppressive feeling around the neck, and the headache disappeared completely. The dosage was reduced subsequently, and she now, after nine months, leads a normal life. Cases of Hardness of Hearing (females, 85 years old and 70 years old) : The first case had had trouble in hearing for twenty years, but six months after prescription of germanium, she was able to hear the ticking of a wrist watch. Now she can lead a normal life without the use of a hearing aid. The other woman has improved now to the extent that she can hear  children's shouts which was not possible before treatment. Case of Cardiac Infarction (male, 45 years old). One morning he had an attack of sharp pain in the chest. As his electrocardiogram was known to be abnormal, a large dose of organic germanium reserved in advance for emergency use was administered. The agony subsided in a few minutes and he fell asleep (about three minutes after the onset of pain). The electrocardiogram taken after he had had a nap showed extremely high St. Administration of large doses continued and the ECG showed an astonishing improvement by the third day, as shown by the following figures :    GOT (149 at the time of attack) -+ GOT ( I  1) after 3 days    GPT (60 at the time of attack) -+ (18) after 3 days    MG (8 at the time of attack) -+ (4) after 3 days    ALP (7 7 at the time of attack) -+ (5.9) after 3 days Now, he is able to work quite normally. However, he constantly carries organic germanium in his pocket for emergency use. Cases of Mental Disorder:  As it is not always possible to expect a patient's voluntarily expressed wish for treatment, it is for those around him to urge him to take the drug under a Long-range program.     An example is the case of a patient with mental disorder, a condition generally accompanied by an unfavorable constitutional make up, in this instance obstacles affecting internal secretions. By stabilizing this condition the patient cheered up and was capable of returning to normal social life. With self-confidence restored he appeared to be an entirely different person.  In the case of a 15 year old girl she was diagnosed as being in the early stage of schizophrenia. She became autistic, began to distrust everything and to absent herself from school. One month after  prescription of organic germanium, her menstrual pains disappeared, her facial expression brightened and her personality became very cheerful. She returned to school after one year's absence.     As mental cases are usually allergic to various things, they are highly sensitive to the effect of germanium. The sensitivity, however, is not in an undesirable direction; they feel the effect even ,of small dosages pleasantly. For this reason, it is as well to prescribe small doses first and then to increase them gradually in accordance with their initial reaction to germanium. Case of Autonomic Alaxia (female, 35 years old): Such afflictions Occur surprisingly often in people of this age.  Symptoms include heavy apprehension, cold extremities, physical instability (giddiness), feeling in the head, insomnia, palpitation of the heart and depression of unknown causes. Patients in a serious condition are hospitalized, while those in a worse condition are referred to a mental hospital.  When organic germanium was prescribed for a patient who claimed  that the medicine prescribed at the psychiatry department made him feel worse, the feeling of heaviness in the head disappeared, physical instability was gone and mental orientation returned in ten days. She also began to sleep better, and when administration was continued at a reduced dosage for the following year, she recovered enough to forget the various symptoms that had caused her suffering. Case of Whiplash Syndrome (male, 48 years old) : He complained of headache, stiff shoulders and pain In the arm as a result of a traffic accident that took place ten years previously. However, 18 days after organic germanium was  administered three times a day, he was free of pain. He continued to take it for six months thereafter. Case of Articular Rheumatism: Many people complain of pain in the joints. Such cases are found in particularly large numbers among women past middle age. Cases concerning elbow joints. shoulder joints and finger joints are imperatively easy to treat, but cases involving knee joints have a much more difficult time because of the walking movements.     A feeling of pressure and acute pain develop around the knee joints and hips for some time prior to manifestation of the signs of improvement after prescribing organic germanium. The patient at this stage is temporarily confused thinking that his condition has worsened. However if the dose is increased at that time, the pain disappears, RAT that has been plus turns to minus in about three days, and the patient will be freed from pains suffered for  many years. In the case of articular rheumatism. an especially large dosage is desirable in order to shorten the period of suffering.  The prescription can be continued in reduced dosage after relieving the acute pain.     If a large dosage is not possible in the treatment of articular rheumatism, exercise, such as walking up and down stairs many times a day, speeds up  germanium's effect, leading to earlier liberation from the pain that sets in at the turning point towards improvement, and to lightening of the load felt on the lower limbs. Case of Pneumonia (female, 86 years old) : Large doses of organic germanium were administered because of severe coughing and high remittant fever. This was continued for seven days, but in consideration of her age and need for reinforcement of vitality the dosage was reduced to half and continued. Full recovery has been achieved.  Cases of pneumonia increase in winter, but in the four years since the use of organic germanium began, no cyanosis has been experienced and no hospitalization for pneumonia has been necessary. This state is entirely due to the efficacy of germanium. Case of Asthma: Asthma attacks all age groups. Intake or organic germanium when the fit occurs inevitably relieves breathing difficulty, and the larger the dosage the quicker the relief. Although there are differences depending on the seriousness of asthma and individual physical make-up, about six months is enough to see the patient's complexion improve, a disappearance of the suffering from his face and of the dropsical swelling. A Case of Asthma (female, 41 years old): The patient was constitutionally weak with such complaints as asthma, hypertension, headaches. constipation, pains from abdominal adhesion, hypersensitivity to pharmaceuticals, general itches as well as liver and kidney disorders. She had been taking Chinese herb medicines for two years but little improvement had been obtained. On April 15, 1974, the patient was persuaded to undergo administration of organic germanium at least for six months regularly. Initially a dose of 20 ml was given twice a day, and the dosage was gradually increased to 40 ml taken once a day, although divided into three to four times a day when the patient suffered pain. Within a month of administration the patient took a total of 6,000 mg (500 ml x 3 bottles) and began to feel better, relieved from headaches and enjoying good general physical condition. In May of previous years, she used to complain of physical disorders, but this year she felt so well that she declared she was no longer ailing. Although she suffered from headaches before rainy days, pain from abdominal adhesion and itches had all disappeared.     In the sixth month, relief was obtained from pains of asthma, headaches, insomnia, lumbago and constipation that had persisted for many years. After a year of continued administration, the remaining complaint of hypertension was also stabilized to a level between 140 and 90. The patient now enjoys good appetite and is in good spirits. Cases of liver cirrhosis, esophageal varices, abdominal dropsy (Ascites) - (In many of these cases diabetes mellitus complication is found. As these are very obstinate diseases, administration of large doses from the beginning is desirable.)   Esophageal varices gradually collapse and become scars (when esophageal varices break, bloody feces are discharged). This may be noted from around the tenth day  O. f administration, but need not be of concern as this is the turning point towards improvement. Abdominal dropsy also subsides and assumes the (-) state. In this case, a large dosage hastens recovery. If the patient responds speedily, the abdominal dropsy (ascites) disappears in one month, and a stabilized  condition is reached in about six months. Even when all is well after a year, prescription of organic germanium should be continued as long as possible because of the nature of disease. If the patient should catch cold, contract some new disease or develop fever, a larger dosage should be given, otherwise, complications may develop or the disease under treatment may become aggravated. A case of diabetes, liver cirrhosis and esopllageal varices (male, 63 years old) : The patient had been suffering from diabetes for 25 years. In March, 1973, he vomited blood caused by liver cirrhosis and esophageal varices. Admitted to  hospital, he awaited surgical intervention on the esophageal varices.     On May 21, the patient began taking 40 ml of water solution of the organic germanium compound three times a day.     On the 8th day of administration, the abdominal dropsy began to disappear.     On the 19th day, the liver function also began to be restored, and the patient was discharged from the hospital at his own request.  (The dosage was increased to 80 ml three times daily.)     On the 30th day, some blood was found in excreta due to contraction of the varices. The dosage was reduced to the original amount, but the patient was in good physical condition with a good complexion and able to walk about.     In the fourth month of administration, most of the varices examined by esophagoscopy at the hospital presented a whitish surface, and no longer was rupture feared, with only one varix near the stomach remaining greenish. The dosage was increased again to 80 ml. which after three days resulted anew in blood in excreta.     After sixth months, upon examination at the hospital, the varices were diagnosed as healed, and the patient was  allowed to take any food and to lead a normal life. Cases of gastric ulcer, gastritis. These cases also occur in large numbers. In these cases, too, the stomach begins to feel heavier at the turning point towards improvement under administration of organic germanium. When the dosage is  increased at this time, the feeling of oppression disappears in three to seven days. Subsequently, administration is  continued in reduced dosages, and the treatment may be stopped when the patient recovers to the point where he does not even notice that he has a stomach. If he takes germanium as Soon as he feels something wrong with his stomach at any later date, his stomach will become normal at once.     In the case of gastric ulcer, it is important to increase the dosage at the turning point instead of suspending  administration thinking that the condition has become aggravated. If the disorder is serious, it will take longer to reach the turning point.     In addition to these cases that have been successfully treated with organic germanium, there are numerous notable cases in which the efficacy of organic germanium has been demonstrated. These include: a case of general stiffness (causes unknown) that was cured in six  months; two cases of hyperthyroidism that showed an improvement in the Course of  treatment; cases of pneumonia in infants or influenza with such complications as pneumonia, bronchitis, diarrhea, etc., recovery from which was early.
